I overlooked the statement highlighted in red.

The cart should have moved, or something ought to have gotten hot when the voltage between M- and A1 decreased from pack voltage down to near zero.

You may have more than one problem.

Why was the controller and solenoid replaced?

Replacing the controller and solenoid may not have fixed the original problem, so you might have received a defective replacement controller, and added additional problems top the original one.
